Hi XDA!
I recently unlocked my phone's bootloader to install an update for my p8lite and I want to lock it back. There is an option called relocking the bootloader and I want to know whether it is the same as locking the bootloader. Also will the ability to flash ROMs through fastboot lose after i relock it?
Thanks
Yes, it is the same, and yes, you will lose the fastboot flash ability. However, the fastboot screen won't show "Locked", it will show "Relocked"
I just noticed that after the upgrade to Nougat Beta on my FRD-L02 Indian version via the official OTA back in November, my bootloader has been locked!
Did anyone else face this? I unlocked my bootloader again but having to do this after every official OTA will be a pain as it wipes the device!
Yes it is a known fact and it is also a way to relock your bootloader
just do a backup before unlocking?
It is normal, and if you want to unlock the bootloader, 90% you'll use the unlock code you used in the first time

It's just a matter of command (as it's the same as unlocking) just a different command when locking

Did you even read the first 5 posts ..it clearly says when you flash a rollback update.app it locks the bootloader
fastboot oem relock (yourunlockcodehere)
Will relock > not Lock like the update.app will
That's an easy and free way to re-lock your phone.
I've done lots of updates (as long as they are OTA's) without causing anything to be re-locked. The only thing I know of that re-locks the bootloader is the rollback to b162. How , or which method (Charles, part-of-beta-testers, dialer method) did you use to apply update that locked the phone? I'm on b360 now without any loss of data, and remained unlocked so I don't see that effect myself.
Thanks.
I Unlocked My Bootloader And Rooted My Phone , If I Relock My Bootloader Will Root Access Be There ?
If you lock bootloader with root you will just get bootloop. So dont do that.
I recently saw that OEM unlocking toggle is working. I unlocked my bootloader long ago. I'm on stock Oreo right now and I didn't "RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER" but it shows to me as if it was relocked. Is it possible? I already have magisk installed. Dunno what to do. Any suggestions?
The OEM unlock toggle in Developer Settings means nothing once you have unlocked the bootloader. Make sure it is enabled and check the bootloader manually... To my knowledge it is impossible to relock the bootloader without a signed image.
If Bootloader is unlocked,will the Guaranty get void?Also with unlocked Bootloader will Bank Apps like,Google Pay,Yono,Digilocker will work?
